Welcome to the forum. Looks like a nice clean Intimidator Monte you got. There are lots of things you can do with these cars. All depends what you are into and your budget. So what types of things do you want, sound, show, performance? What is your budget?

No budget? Intercooler, e85, headers, ported heads, lopey camshaft... Check out zzperformance.com for parts. You'll also need a tune, which multiple vendors and individuals could help you with.

Talking With no Budget

With no Budget I would convert it to Rear wheel drive and stick a Big Block V-8 Crate motor in her and a 6 speed Manual trans posi-track rear axel.
Now you got something to play with.
She would do doughnuts then also.
This is a far better idea than the other responders gave you.

Hello and Welcome to the forum! Awesome looking Intimidator model, looks very well kept.
Like NiteHawkjcb says, but that is a full bore build. Would be nice to get your Monte there. As you would suspect a second car to drive would be handy if you do entertain any in depth engine / transmission modifications. These things tend to chew up ones money at any given moment. The desire for more and more power will grip you...

Lol. Say no budget and there are tons of wild and cool things you can do.
In our fwd tech info section is a thread on 3800 mods. That might be a good place to look for performance ideas (at least a starting point).
